21,450' or so - pace slowing, only Richard giving us any regular momentum - I'm now off to stratford on avon for a conference (auditing - yawn!) so won't be hitting the hills until Sunday when its the Mendip Muddle - should be a great race if the weather stays like it is this am.

Hello Quacks,in quite a bit of agony today, flare up with arthritus in my hip and knees, it started hurting after first check point! Agree with the tower, thought they'd taken it out of the route with how long it took to get there! found the last bit through the woods quite demoralising, seemed to go on forever. Raced a bloke for the finish line, only to discover that he's 67!

First hill run in ages for me yesterday, still feeling slightly sore in the splints but otherwise ok. Will just need to be carefull training tonight. Went up the local small hills (424m) so add 600' from me...

Well. looks like we made it - Richard appears to have reach the summit and then gone some way beyond.

Disappointed to find that the team I was hoping to lead to glory in the Fell Relay championships on Saturday is no more - two late drop-outs mean we only have four of the six runners required. Anyone aware of anything else off-road'ish this week-end?
